Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 18/590 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 18 and 590.
To find the greatest common divisor of 18 and 590, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 18 (1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18) and 590 (1, 2, 5, 10, 59, 118, 295, 590) we found that 2 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 2 is the largest common factor of 18 and 590, 2 is also the greatest common divisor of 18 and 590.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 18/590 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 18/2 = 9
Denominator: 590/2 = 295
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
18/590 to the simplest form is:
9/295
